When you are the only madow among Arabs

Male/not the same person as @caanoshaah
Me and my family used to live in Egypt when I was young and at school the arab kids used to call me "Asmarika" which basically means "Blacky" or the n word. Of course I didnt think much of it since I was a kid and I was usually hanging out with my friends a mix of Somali, Egyptian, Syrian, Sudanese but on the bus and on break time they'd be saying shit like that. Now that im older Im realizing how racism in Egypt starts from a young age. Obviously not the whole society is like that its wrong to generalize and paint a broad brush but aside from these racist incidents at school, I had a great time living there. Eid and Ramadan was the best time there.
